Ingredients
| 1 slice | plain bread |
| 1/4 cup (60 ml) | milk |
| 1.25 lb (565 g) | ground beef combo (veal, beef & pork) |
| 1 large | egg, lightly whisked |
| 1/2 cup (50 g), divided | finely grated parmesan cheese |
| 2 tbsp | freshly minced parsley |
| 1/2 tsp | finely minced garlic |
| 1/2 tsp / as needed | kosher salt |
| as desired | freshly cracked pepper |
| 2 tbsp (30 ml), for sautéing | olive oil |
| 4 cups (960 ml) | marinara sauce |
| 4 slices sliced lengthwise (1 loaf) | Italian bread / sub rolls |
| 1 cup (110 g) | shredded mozzarella cheese |
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the sliced plain bread in a bowl with the milk. Stir and wait about five minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove excess milk and shred the bread to bits.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the meat with 1/4 cup parmesan, the soaked bread, garlic, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Mix and shape into two-inch (5 cm) meatballs.
- Bake the meatballs on a lightly greased baking tray for about 15 minutes.
- Pour the marinara sauce into a medium pot and warm over medium-low heat. Add the meatballs and simmer about ten more minutes.
- Meanwhile prepare the rolls soft or toasted: open them, spritz lightly with oil and toast on a hot skillet as desired.
- Set the oven to broil. Place the meatballs with sauce in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella and the remaining parmesan. Broil one to two minutes until the cheese melts.
- Scoop the meatballs onto the rolls and serve steaming hot.
